The queens are stacking up quick this year. I predict this count will at least triple before the summer is up. I have quite a few double and triple queen colonies this time. Last year that didnt even cross my mind. Derrrr

How did you decide on the spacing of the "claustral chamber" of your test tubes? I notice they are different sizes in the pics.

i give them all just enough space to turn around comfortably when i set them up. i also put bigger sp. in the bigger tubes you see. and all others in the smaller sizes. the ones in that have alot more space have just been set up long enough for them to go through that much moisture. the cards are there to seperate the non-social queens visually.
